Story
Lines that meet and overlap
Kartell's text for the Lepid system says lines meet and overlap, and that the outline serves as the graphic element of the whole composition. The data sheet shows this code in three colours and gives its weight as 7.0 kg.
Interlocking joins
According to the page, the interlocking joins ensure both structural strength and ease of assembly.
